Qin Gong

"Have you heard? In Linzi, Qi State, there appeared an old man riding a bull. The old man hid a study room. It is rumored that he can go to the room to read the papers and change his knowledge of the past and the present!"

"I've also heard that the news from you is inaccurate. Many of my old friends in Qi State say that the old man is a fairy, and the bamboo slips in the room are all fairy books!"

"No, no, you all heard it wrong, what kind of study room, it is clearly said to be a fairy mountain!"

Among the various restaurants in Shanwu City, countless gentry children, or merchants, were discussing in a low voice.

Shanwu City, which had been closed for more than a month, finally opened its gates, and the people, gentry, and merchants who had been stuck in the city were finally able to enter and exit freely. However, no one expected that just after the gates were opened, they suddenly heard the news from Qi State.

As for the truth and falsehood, no one knows, only that this matter has been widely spread in Qi State.

At the gate of Shanwu City.

Bai Yan and Yang Duanhe wore Qin official uniforms and escorted Chang Wenjun all the way to the gate of the city.

"You two don't need to send each other off!"

Chang Wenjun stopped in his tracks, turned around to salute Bai Yan and Yang Duanhe, and motioned for them to stay.

Cai Si and Shao Meng followed Chang Wenjun closely.

"Please trouble Chang Wenjun to take this trip!"

When Bai Yan and Yang Duanhe bowed their hands to return the salute, Bai Yan took the lead and said, taking a look at Mi Jing who was tied behind the carriage in the distance, Bai Yan naturally knew why Chang Wenjun was angry this time and why he punished Mi Jing severely.

It's all fatherly love!
"General Bai, there are many misunderstandings in this matter. If you need it in the future, you can write to me. My brother and I will definitely not refuse!"

Chang Wenjun looked at Bai Yan and raised his hand to salute.

Yesterday's words were already very obvious, Bai Yan already suspected that it was the order from Yingchuan Changping Lord, Chang Wenjun was also relieved to think that Bai Yan had saved face and didn't say it directly, fortunately, although Bai Yan doubted it, but considering that it was Yueshi Yangjin , still taking into account the face of him and his brother.

Moreover, what made him even more fortunate was that Bai Yan didn't know what his elder brother had ordered him to do before.

Thinking that King Chuyou has passed away, and now that Xiong Lingchu has succeeded to the throne, he and his elder brother no longer need to think about how to destroy the Bai clan.

Everything is over.

Now Bai Yan has been favored by Ying Zheng, and he holds two powerful iron cavalry in his hands. On the contrary, he and his elder brother have been transferred away from Xianyang. It is too risky to think about how to deal with the Bai clan right now.

"Farewell!"

After Chang Wenjun saluted Bai Yan, he saluted with Yang Duanhe, then turned and left.

At this time Li Xin came to Chang Wenjun's side and accompanied Chang Wenjun in the carriage. During this time, Chang Wenjun was also instructing his beloved apprentice Li Xin to do something. Both Bai Yan and Old Yang clearly saw Li Xin and nodded from time to time.

After a while.

Following Chang Wenjun's departure, Li Xin came to Bai Yan and Yang Duanhe, and also bid farewell.

If it wasn't for Mi Jing's affairs, Li Xin should still be in the Qin army camp outside Jicheng, discussing with General Wang Jian, Deputy General Xin Sheng and others how to capture Jicheng.

"Your relationship with Li Xin seems to be flawed!"

After saying goodbye to Li Xin, Mr. Yang looked at the back of Li Xin riding away with his cronies, and turned his head to look at Bai Yan.

Although Bai Yan and Li Xin seem to have a very good relationship during this time, but after all, Elder Yang has lived half his life, and he is very aware of the slightly unnatural look in Li Xin's eyes when he looked at Bai Yan.

"It's all a misunderstanding!"

Bai Yan explained softly when he heard Old Yang's words.

In fact, Bai Yan can feel Li Xin's attitude without Yang Lao talking about it. Before escorting Ying Zheng, he once refuted Li Xin's request. At that time, he followed the army to attack the country of Yan again, but Li Xinxin already had a little mind, so how could he forget it easily.

After all, when it came to Li Xin's attack on Yan, he, Bai Yan, did not help. It was all the advice of the king, Li Shi, and Chang Wenjun.

"Li Xin is a nice person!"

Old Yang smiled, and then looked at the backs of Li Xin and his party in the distance.

"but."

Elder Yang didn't say anything later, but the worry in his eyes was very obvious.

Thinking of what Bai Yan said before, and seeing Mi Jing's actions with his own eyes, Mr. Yang is not very worried about Chang Wenjun, but he is more worried about Mr. Changping.

Seeing Elder Yang's appearance, Bai Yan knew that Elder Yang was always worried about Li Xin's future.

in the mansion.

When Bai Yan returned to the mansion, he came to the study just now, and saw Zhao Qiu was already sitting in the study.

"Have they all left Shan Wu?"

Seeing Bai Yan coming back, Zhao Qiu asked softly.

Bai Yan nodded.

"Um!"

At this moment, Bai Yan gave Zhao Qiu a weird look. For a long time, Zhao Qiu hadn't given him a good face. Why did he suddenly come to the study now?

"Is there any news from Mrs. Zhang?"

Zhao Qiu pretended not to see Bai Yan's weird eyes.

Although she claims to be well-informed, Zhao Qiu knows that she may not be as good as Bai Yan when it comes to news from Chu and Yingchuan.

Speaking of it, Zhao Qiu was also very confused, but Yingchuan could understand, after all, Bai Yan had been to Yingchuan, but what about Chu?Why is it that Bai Yan is very clear about many things about Chu and Zhang's actions? As far as she knows, Bai Yan has never been to Chu.

"There is no news of Zhang's family in Yanmen yet. Presumably, Zhang's plan is to do something outside of Yanmen County!"

Bai Yan said, kneeling in front of the wooden table, reaching out to the charcoal fire, feeling the warmth of the charcoal fire.

Zhao Qiu turned his head and looked at Bai Yan.

"Have you heard the news from Qi?"

Zhao Qiu spoke slowly and did not mention Zhang's matter again. As Mi Jing was taken away by Chang Wenjun, Zhao Qiu knew that no matter which side died, it would be a good thing for Bai Yan.

From the moment Mi Jing was handed over to Chang Wenjun, Bai Yan had withdrawn from the whole matter.

Compared with Zhang's, what Zhao Qiu was more curious about was the sudden news from Qi.

"What exactly does it mean?"

Bai Yan looked at Zhao Qiu while holding the bamboo slips on the wooden table.

"Old man riding a bull!"

Zhao Qiu said, looking straight at Bai Yan with beautiful eyes, not letting go of any trace of Bai Yan's expression, as if curious if Bai Yan's expression would change when he heard this.

"Yesterday I heard from Li Yun and Li Qi that there was an old man riding a bull in Qi State who wrote many bamboo slips in the Tian Mansion!"

Bai Yan nodded, he learned about this matter from Li Yun and Li Qi yesterday.

Thinking of something, Bai Yan turned his eyes away from the bamboo slips and looked at Zhao Qiu. Sure enough, he found that Zhao Qiu's eyes were like a little fox, and he seemed to be looking at him suspiciously.

"Say what you want!"

Bai Yan said, and then threw the bamboo slips in his hand aside, they were all bamboo slips sent to plead for Mi Jing, this time when Mi Jing was captured, Bai Yan never expected that so many people would plead for mercy in the end.

"She never told you about your relationship with Tian Feiyan?"

Zhao Qiu looked suspiciously at Bai Yan.

To be honest, Zhao Qiu didn't believe that Bai Yan didn't know about this matter at all. Although she had never seen Tian Feiyan with her own eyes, she knew a lot about Tian Feiyan.

"There's never been any mention of an old man riding a bull!"

Bai Yan shook his head, glanced at Zhao Qiu, and explained.

Just at this time Master Xu walked in, Bai Yan didn't bother to pay attention to Zhao Qiu, got up and took off his official uniform, and put on the clothes that Master Xu brought.

"Didn't mention it???"

Zhao Qiu was puzzled when he heard Bai Yan's words. Looking at Bai Yan who was changing clothes, Zhao Qiu looked at Bai Yan's expression and eyes, and it seemed that he was not lying.

Could it be that you never said that?
Just when Zhao Qiu was puzzled, he found that Bai Yan had put on his clothes, so he asked Master Xu to get the bamboo slips, while he went back to the wooden table, ready to grind ink and write on the bamboo slips.

"You lied to me?"

Zhao Qiu said suddenly.

Bai Yan looked up at Zhao Qiu with a puzzled expression.

"If you haven't mentioned it, why don't you want to know the identity of the old man at all?"

Zhao Qiu pointed out Bai Yan's question keenly. You must know that with the news sent by Qi State, many people have rumored that the old man on the bull has the ability to rule the world. Ministers, countless Confucian scholars are looking for the old man, even in the future, Gong Zijia and others will send people to look for him.

such a person.

But Bai Yan didn't seem to care about it at all, he didn't even ask her to inquire about Qi Guo's news, and didn't ask her to order Zhao Di's spies to search to see if they could find the old man.

"Just pay attention to it a little bit. If you are too obsessed, it will be bad if it spreads to Xianyang!"

When Bai Yan heard Zhao Qiu's words, he seemed to notice that his behavior was somewhat suspicious, so he explained.

After listening to Bai Yan's words, Zhao Qiu thought that now Bai Yan is very popular in Yanmen, and he has elite cavalry under his command. If he deliberately inquires, it seems that it is exactly as Bai Yan said, but it is easy to be remembered by those who are interested, secretly causing trouble in Xianyang .

"You really don't know?"

Although Zhao Qiu already believed Bai Yan's explanation, but out of face, he still repeated a sentence, expressing his doubts.

"Miss Tian has never mentioned an old man riding a bull to Bai Yan!"

Bai Yan glanced at Zhao Qiu, said again, and after finishing speaking, he took the bamboo slip brought by Master Xu, opened it, and prepared to write a scroll of bamboo slips to be sent to the Yunzhong Mountains.

Zhao Qiu looked at Bai Yan's lowered head and earnestly writing in front of the wooden table, and he was completely convinced that Bai Yan really didn't know.

But at the moment.

Zhao Qiu's mind was full of thoughts about the news about Qi, who was that old man riding a bull?Why even the King of Qi, Tian Ding, and many Confucian scholars in Qi State, and even heard that Wei Guoshicheng and others are all looking for the old man riding the bull.

Meimou inadvertently looked at the young man in front of her. She knew that compared to King Qi, Tian Ding, or Gongzi Jia, Guo Zong, or even those in Wei State, what she was most worried about was which old bull rider Qin State would find in the end. .

She finally got the promise of the young man in front of her. As for the old man who suddenly appeared and was rumored to be riding a bull, as far as she was concerned, as long as she didn't appear in the court of Qin Dynasty, as long as she didn't work for Yingzheng, she could accept it.

January is the coldest solar term throughout the year.

As the saying goes, it snows in December and rains in January. This sentence describes the heavy snow in December and people can't go out, but the rain in January makes people afraid to go out.

Among the solar terms of a year, only January has the most piercing rain. When the rain falls on the body, it is more freezing than letting people reach out and touch the water by the river.

"It has already left the border of Yanmen!"

Shao Meng rode a war horse, came to the carriage, turned his head and said to the carriage.

Feeling the cold wind head on, and the drizzle accompanied by the cold wind, Shao Meng's cheeks have become numb. Even though the hand holding the horse rope was wrapped in thick clothes, it was still cold. It was so painful that Shao Meng even wondered if it was because his clothes were already wet that he was so cold, the kind of bone-chilling cold all over his body.

Riding a war horse.

In front of the carriage, Cai Si looked at each other when he heard Shao Meng's words, and kept holding his hands, breathing out.

Compared with Shao Meng, Cai Si's feeling at the moment is not that much better. The only good thing may be that he doesn't have to hold the horse rope.

"When we arrive in Xianyang, we will go to a restaurant to have fun for a few days no matter what!"

Cai Si complained.

Thinking of returning to Xianyang earlier, thinking of his wives and concubines in Xianyang city, and those beauties in restaurants, Cai Si felt better.

This time I came to Shanwu, fortunately I was able to save Mi Jing, and the Qin general Bai Yan also gave Chang Wenjun face, many things are not being investigated, let's go deeper.

"quick!"

Shao Meng turned his head, looked around the carriage and the soldiers behind him, and shouted, he wanted to arrive at the next city as soon as possible, and drink a pot of wine earlier to warm up his body.

However this time.

Suddenly, an arrow shot out suddenly, and then more and more, several soldiers were hit by arrows in an instant, and there were also several arrows stuck in the carriage. The arrow hissed.

"There is an ambush, draw your sword!"

When Shao Meng saw this scene, he was taken aback. He quickly reached out and drew out his waist sword and saber, and looked at the masked men who suddenly appeared.

At this time, Cai Si also noticed that there were also many black-clothed men coming forward with sharp swords in their hands.

"Sure enough, there is an ambush!"

Cai Si cursed secretly, and quickly asked the groom on the side to rein in the horse rope.

A school lieutenant on the other side of the carriage drew his sword and led the soldiers to fight towards the men in black.

"kill!!!"

"kill!!"

No less than 30 men in black were holding sharp swords, and all of them fought together with the soldiers of the Qin Army escorting the carriage in an instant. There are two school captains together with Shao Meng.

It is conceivable that the number of soldiers of the Qin State will never be less than a hundred.

During the fight, many Qin soldiers were hacked and fell to the ground. Blood spread instantly, filling the road, and some green leaves on both sides of the road were also splashed with blood instantly.

And due to the number of soldiers in the Qin army, the men in black are not much better. They are all in cold weather. With the disadvantage of the number, the influence of the weather is more fatal to the men in black. During the stabbing, the men in black also backed away in pain, vomited blood and fell to the ground.

"kill!!"

Suddenly.

Just when all the men in black were at a disadvantage and the whole situation was about to be stabilized by the Qin army, a dozen or so men in black suddenly appeared in the wet forest on both sides of the road, and rushed towards the carriage regardless.

Seeing this scene, Cai Si also drew out his saber and jumped off the carriage.

At this moment, Shao Meng jumped off the carriage and led the soldiers around the carriage to kill the men in black.

The blades were criss-crossed. As a captain of the Qin Army, Shao Meng was obviously much better than some gentry in terms of force and strength, and Shao Meng's sharp sword was also slashing with all his strength, with awe-inspiring momentum. A man in black fought After a few rounds, a slash missed, and was directly slashed on the face by Shao Meng with a full swing.

Seeing this, the man in black at the back immediately rushed towards Shao Meng.

However, after Shao Meng had just fought, he found that compared to the previous man in black, the man in black in front of him was obviously better at everything. Seeing this, after a block, Shao Meng's expression was ferocious, and he approached him directly, and began to slash After the man in black repeatedly blocked him, he slashed suddenly.

Under the tremendous force, the sharp sword in the man in black's hand was shaken to the point of falling after blocking it. The man in black looked at the falling sword, and just raised his head to look forward, then opened his eyes wide and stared at Shao Meng held a sharp sword and pierced his abdomen with a sword.

"Hmm~!"

The masked man in black groaned in pain, and looked at Shao Meng in a daze, as if he couldn't believe it.

But then, the masked man slowly looked towards the carriage.

At this time, Shao Meng also noticed that these black-clothed men who raided the carriage were far more elite than those in the front and rear. Soon, two black-clothed men fought to get injured and rushed to the carriage regardless of life or death.

However, at this moment, the curtain inside the carriage was lifted by two masked men, and a sharp sword pierced directly into the abdomen of a masked man, and then three or four Qin soldiers suddenly took the sharp sword, from Get out of the carriage.

"It's been tricked! Withdraw quickly!"

Seeing this scene, all the masked men were startled. After recovering, a leading masked man shouted.

While speaking, the other masked men ignored the Qin soldiers in front of them, and all fled towards the secret orders on both sides.

Seeing this, Shao Meng turned his head and slowly drew out his sharp sword.

The masked man without a sharp sword slowly fell to the ground. Shao Meng squatted down and took off the cloth scarf on his face.

"General!"

Two Qin soldiers came behind Shao Meng.

"Chop off this man's head! Order someone to report to the general!"

Shao Meng got up and said, looking at the young man in front of him, Shao Meng recalled the feeling just now, he was keenly aware that this man must be one of the masterminds of this assassination.

"promise!"

Two soldiers of the Qin State accepted the order, and then one of them stepped forward, drew his sword and chopped off the head of the wide-eyed, unwilling-looking man.
